Stepdaughter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
left out in the rain too long / there was not no glory to re-live
all 3 fingers - all your limbs / pliable now as steam and soft light
traded off when you were down / took it - on took it on
the story bitches and the scene don't care / unraveling now like steam and soft light
the cutter loses his nerve and turns away
the stepdaughter dissolves into the dark woods soundless
mama take the pillow from under my head / stepdaughter made my dying bed
left out in the rain too long / to marinate in steam and soft light
the stepdaughter dissolves into the dark woods soundless
the cutter delivers an elk heart for false proof
bury me shallow and scratch out my name
i'd make every mistake all over again
